"Odd Obsession"
1960
Directed by Kon Ichikawa

An elderly Japanese man with a beautiful young wife finds it difficult to reconcile his feelings of desire with his decreasing potency in this "new interpretation of the love-death theme in which some of the most sordid of human actions are captured by means of the sheerest physical beauty…Erotic obsession is presented with such near-claustrophobic intensity that one longs for outdoor scenes…everything is hidden, secreted away" (Donald Richie). Japanese with English subtitles.
96 minutes.
